You should find a life coach/therapist and learn the skill-set needed to handle the life you live. A Psychiatrist who can prescribe medication may help speed the process of gaining back a productive life. Do nothing and this will usually get worse.

Please see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy and an interest in treating Anxiety and Trichotillomania - hair pulling disorder. You may need medication prescribed by a Psychiatrist too.
